Gardening Lessons for Life and Tips for Amateur Gardeners
🌅 Sunrise with New Hope
Many people buy a few plants and place them on their window sills or near their main doors. Initially, these plants are watered and cared for, but often, they’re neglected when they stop flowering. Over time, these plants dry out, leaving empty or cluttered pots that are ignored.
🌱 Life Lesson: If you don’t succeed at first, try again. And if you decide not to continue, clean your space. Clutter, in any form, isn’t good for your home.
🪴 Plants are great in Feng Shui, bringing positive energy, liveliness, and prosperity to your environment.
